monologue

Xia Ci put a cup of hot water in front of Chu Xingmu, and the team members arrived in the conference room in twos and threes. Chu Xingmu sorted out the materials in his hand. These two cases have been mixed together in the past few days, and the severed hand case is the focus of investigation. The case involved the most energy and manpower. Because Li Yaomin extended the time for Huang Qing's case to be solved, Chu Xingmu was able to free up time to focus on Huang Qing's case. He was a criminal police captain and an intern. After running back and forth for two days, I turned a "simple" case of alcohol-induced heart attack death into a tug-of-war murder case.

"Is everyone here?" Chu Xingmu asked without raising his head.

The roll call is routine before the meeting, although he can tell who has not arrived by looking up.

"The higher-ups are pressing hard. The death case of Huang Qing and Su Ai must be solved as soon as possible. The reason why the case is combined is because Liu Ziyi mentioned Su Ai in the case of Huang Qing. After two days of investigation, the number of victims increased. The motive for the murder is vague, Lao Qi hurriedly distributed the information and brought it back tonight for research, and starting tomorrow, everyone will focus on this case, and Gou Xia will be responsible for the follow-up of the severed hand case."

Xia Ci nodded and said, "Understood."

Qi Shaocheng quickly distributed a stack of thick documents to everyone. Chu Xingmu took a sip of hot water and continued: "The autopsy report handed over by the Yongxing District No. According to the time of death in the autopsy report, Han Yang and the forensic doctor in Yongxing District conducted a second autopsy, and found that the real cause of Huang Qing's death was not alcohol-induced heart disease, but benzodiazepine-type antidepressants. His wife said that he had no history of depression or mental illness, and he hadn’t had a heart attack in recent years, but he used to carry a bottle of clopidogrel with him. After Huang Qing’s death, the bottle disappeared. Found it in the car."

"Wait, boss, since we can find this, then the Yongxing District Third Branch Bureau must also be able to find it. This case was classified as a homicide by them. Why didn't they continue to investigate?" Zhao Chen asked puzzled.

"Knocking down Wen's Group is an excuse, and the resistance they encountered is the main reason. Moreover, they turned their attention to murder because of an anonymous letter, which said that Huang Qing's death was not easy." Chu Xingmu swept his eyes. The people around the conference table said, "The person in charge of the Xincheng Economic Development Zone ran away with 150 billion yuan. Lin Fang said that Huang Qing took all his family property to invest in the development zone project. We can't handle this economic case, let alone the Third Branch. , if the Third Division Bureau wants to continue to investigate, and cannot bypass the development zone, it is bound to ask the leaders above the Municipal Bureau for instructions.

Everyone: "..."

This hot potato won't cool down in anyone's hands.

"The task is arduous and the responsibility is heavy. Don't have a psychological burden. Don't ask me for mental damage expenses. Be lively and cheerful. Maybe the leader will see a salary increase when our criminal investigation team is collectively crazy." Chu Xingmu didn't use it. The expression on the face and the tone without emotion tell the jokes that are cold but not funny at all.

"Okay~ Got it, let me ask the question first, is the suspect identified?" Zhao Chen asked first, he wanted to finish the meeting quickly and go home to sleep.

"So far, there have been three suspects in total, Wen Xiangqin, Xu Ruolin, and Su Ai. Coincidentally, the first two have been ruled out as suspects, and the third is dead, and their clues are broken. Liu Ziyi was involved in a car accident. Seriously injured, from his mouth we can be sure that Su Ai is related to Huang Qing, and Su Ai's suicide itself is very strange, she also has a younger sister who is hospitalized in the Municipal Children's Hospital, how could she commit suicide?" Chu Xingmu I feel a headache.

"Xu Ruolin and Wen Xiangqin were the ones who had direct conflicts with Huang Qing. It stands to reason that their motive for committing the crime is the most obvious, but both of them have alibi for Huang Qing's death, so their suspicions are ruled out. Su Ai, Wen Xiangqin and others should also know each other."

"After eleven o'clock in the evening on the 17th, Huang Qing took a taxi, walked east from Daxue Road, got off at West Street Station, took the car of Zhang Yu, chairman of Linghai Group, and left around 11:30. Said that Huang Qing got off at Anhe Road, I looked at the route map of Yongxing District, and found that Huang Qing lived more than half of Yongxing District, if he took another car and walked five kilometers, he could return to the vicinity of the bar. "

"Drunk and took a taxi around Yongxing District in the middle of the night? It seems like something a drunk can do." Lang Lang looked at Zhao Chen and said.

Zhao Chen touched his face, his eyes were flickering, "Sister Wolf, what do you see me doing?"

"Don't interrupt, I guess he's going to an appointment, but he has to take something with him. In the middle of the route, I found a familiar place, the Jin'an Ballroom. Su Ai also happens to be working in Jin'an."

Jin'an Ballroom is located in the center of Yongxing District, with a prosperous location and convenient transportation. The boss Jiang Fu has complicated social relations. He can enjoy everything from ordinary people to high-level people. Therefore, his Jin'an Ballroom is stable and prosperous. , In contrast, the dance halls in other places are either social people picking quarrels and provoking troubles, or the person in charge engaged in illegal business. There are too many examples of closures as long as two years or as short as three months. Regular dance halls are open for business.

But it is precisely this kind of place that has never had an accident. Once an accident occurs, it is often accompanied by the risk of serious damage to vitality. It is like investing most of the money saved for most of your life into a large project with equal profit and risk. If there is a lot of money, or you lose everything, Jiang Fu should not be so irrational.

"That Jiang Fu came to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation in the morning. According to him, Su Ai got off work early last night. After returning home, he hasn't contacted him until this morning. He has an alibi, which we have verified. " Xia Ci said.

After receiving the alarm in the morning, Chu Xingmu asked Jiang Fu to be notified, because the frequency of Jin'an dance hall appeared in their place recently was too high, so Chu Xingmu paid attention to it, whether it was Wen Xiangqin who came out of Ronghui Bar The place is also the time and place where Wen Ti and Wen Xiangqin appeared together. The Jin'an Ballroom is indeed a place that cannot be ignored.

"The door lock of Su Ai's house has no trace of being picked, the items in the house have not been searched for, and no valuables have been lost. There are only Su Ai's fingerprints on the cups and wine bottles on the table in the living room," Han Yang said. Su Ai drank baijiu, but no baijiu was found in her house, as if she was the only one in the house, and there was no trace of the second person, combined with the suicide note she left, she is most likely to commit suicide."

"But what was the reason for her suicide? This is completely unreasonable."

"Have you checked the surveillance and vehicles entering and exiting the community?"

"I checked."

"What about Suai's neighbor's house? Didn't you see anyone coming out of her house?"

"Her neighbor's house happened to be empty that night, but the security guards in the community said that they saw a man go out from the back door of the community. It was around nine o'clock in the evening. After investigation, it was found that it was Jiang Fu, but this did not match the time of Su Ai's death. "

On the night of the 17th, what happened at the Golden Shore Ballroom?Has Huang Qing ever been there?If so, what was his purpose?Is the person who asked him to go to the appointment the murderer?What role did Su Ai and Liu Ziyi play in this?

The questions that troubled Chu Xingmu have never had a similar answer since he received this case.

Because this case is too normal. Drinking too much alcohol, taking drugs, alcohol and drug reactions, causing heart disease, and death from heart disease are all normal. Just an anonymous letter can't prove anything. Suicide, Chu Xingmu still can't figure out where the breakthrough direction of this case should be.

"Okay, let's talk about this first." Chu Xingmu glanced at the time on his watch, it was already 12:30, "Pack up and go home from school, I have to go back and feed Chu Daha, that bastard may be biting the sofa again gone."

Chu Xingmu waved his hand, signaling to everyone what to do, Xia Ci sat still, and the others said goodbye to the two of them one after another. A few seconds later, there were only two of them left in the conference room.

"Why don't you go back?" Chu Xingmu turned his head and asked Xia Ci.

Xia Ci crossed his arms and asked back, "Why don't you go back?"

Chu Xingmu put his head in his hands, leaned back on the chair, and said: "I'm almost sleepy, and at this time Bureau Wu will add trouble to me."

Xia Ci asked: "He asked you to solve this case within three days?"

"Who do you belong to?" Chu Xingmu asked half-jokingly.

Xia Ci's smile froze for a moment, then he returned to normal, and replied casually, "Your man."

Chu Xingmu and Xia Ci looked at each other for a few seconds, each turned their heads to one side, and sat for a while relatively silently. The lights in the conference room seemed a bit redundant on this moonless night, so that Xia Ci also I can't see Xingmu's expression clearly.

Not long after, Chu Xingmu got up and said, "Go back."

Xia Ci nodded, and when Chu Xingmu went around the meeting table and walked to the door, Xia Ci suddenly said, "I won't harm you."

Chu Xingmu turned his back to him and replied: "I believe this."

Chu Xingmu opened the door and went out. Xia Ci looked at the half-open door and smiled helplessly. If there was no trust between the two of them, then something really happened.

Sitting in the conference room, Xia Ci watched Chu Xingmu go out yawning, and then he held the investigation materials in his hands, and he slowly let go until the few pieces of life-threatening paper were too crumpled. hands.

The two of them have been together since they entered the police academy. In the blink of an eye, in the past ten years, they have solved thousands of cases, large and small. They have regarded each other as trustworthy and reliable partners for so many years.

He remembered the last time Wu Huanshan asked him when he reported the severed hand case to deputy director Wu Huanshan: "Xiao Xia, how many years have you been the deputy team?"

Xia Ci replied: "Five years."

He asked again: "Do you still remember how you became the deputy team?"

Xia Ci replied: "After cracking the 6 major case, you made an exception for promotion."

Wu Huanshan finally asked half-jokingly: "Do you plan to keep doing this?"

Xia Ci was silent, he didn't hesitate, but he couldn't speak easily, what Wu Huanshan's words meant, Xia Ci was very clear, especially in front of Wu Huanshan, he couldn't easily express his opinion.

The most feared thing about being a policeman is being attacked.

Early the next morning, Chu Xingmu stood at the gate of the office on time to strictly check the discipline of being late and leaving early. While eating breakfast, he read the newspaper. After punching his card, Lang Lang asked, "Then what did the reporter write today?"

Starting from the severed hand case, Qingshi Morning Post published a related article every day. The purpose was very clear, questioning the police's ability and efficiency in handling cases, and inciting the psychological emotions of the people. It was nicknamed "inspector".

"An angry youth reporter wrote: 'The Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Qing City Public Security Bureau has done nothing in the recent murder cases, allowing the murderer to go unpunished, and the people are in panic. I hope that the relevant leaders will step up their supervision and don't let the police continue to lose trust with the people', It's just these few sentences over and over again." Chu Xingmu leaned on his desk and finished reading the newspaper, took a few sips of soy milk.

Tang Zheyi said indignantly: "We have been running non-stop for so many days, and we have to investigate the case without eating or sleeping. How can we do nothing when the media reporters talk about it?"

In order to investigate the case these days, he spends the whole day when he goes out, eats enough, drinks water, and there are many obstacles in the process of finding clues. After a few days of lack of sleep, my eyes are black and blue, and my temper is not as good as before.

Qi Shaocheng gave Tang Zhe two buns, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young comrades, don't get too angry. The media and the people want results. Who cares if you don't sleep or eat for days and nights? And comrades because The fat body caused the rescue of the victim to be delayed, and the family members of the victim complained that they were lazy, cheated and played tricks."

The more Tang Zhe listened, the more confused he became. Bai Yao asked, "Who got fat and was complained?"

Qi Shaocheng bit the bun and raised his hand, Zhao Chen pointed at him, "That one is very conscious."

Bai Yao: "..."

"Otherwise, why do you think I crashed his bicycle that time, why did he hang himself after crying, making troubles and hanging himself? He has been riding a bicycle every day to lose weight, rain or shine, for several years." Chu Xingmu folded up the newspaper and threw it into the trash can.

That matter was a knot in Qi Shaocheng's heart.

Chu Xingmu said to Bai Yao: "Bai Bai, go and see if Su Ai's autopsy report has come out."

Bai Yao made a "Oh" and corrected as she walked, "Please call me Xiaobai, thank you, Baibai sounds like a dog."

"I remember that Lao Qi weighed 180 catties when he was complained about, which is more than 40 catties heavier than when he first joined the job." Lang Lang continued to help Qi Shaocheng recall the history of the fat fat that wanted to cry but had no tears.

After a while, Bai Yao came back, she put the autopsy report on Chu Xingmu's desk, and said, "Captain Chu, Su Ai's autopsy report came out, Physician Han said he needs to catch up on sleep, please don't bother me." he."

Chu Xingmu sat at his desk and began to read the autopsy report, "Excessive drinking and drug reactions caused respiratory depression and suffocation."

Lang Lang asked, "Is it really suicide?"

"Benzodiazepine antidepressants, Huang Qing's autopsy report also contains benzodiazepine antidepressants."

"Isn't Huang Qing free from depression?"

"No, antidepressants were indeed found in Suai's bedroom, and the time of death was about four hours."

"Su Ai also suffers from depression?"

"Just check it out."

The office phone rang, and Bai Yao picked it up right away. The others stopped and looked at Bai Yao. After Bai Yao hung up the phone, she said, "Captain Chu, it's Jiang Fu calling, saying it's at Su Ai's make-up shop." I found a few things in the room, which should help the case."

Chu Xingmu nodded, "As the captain, I can lead by example. Lang Lang, you go to contact He Shu and tell him that Chu Xingmu asked him to read the internal information."

Lang Lang went to call immediately.

Tang Zhe stood in front of the desk and asked, "Who is He Shu?" Why hasn't he heard of this person during his one-month internship?

Qi Shaocheng who passed by stuffed the morning paper into Tang Zhe's arms. Tang Zhe picked it up in doubt and looked at it. The author of the article "When will the police not break their trust with the people" is called He Shu.
